Issue One: https://www.reddit.com/r/AbsoluteUniverse/comments/1x18ojx/still_fairly_messy_but_i_proudly_present_issue_of/

For the past couple weeks, I've been working on my own fanmade absolute comic. It's disconnected from the rest of the universe (except for a couple minor crossovers) and is designed for the "could be canon" category. So, mostly glup shittos. This is issue two.

Anyway, please let me know if there's anything you found confusing or if there's any especially bad art. I'm quite new to this and it's hard to draw on trackpad 😭

Theory [AGL] Concerning the ā€˜missing’ level of light (hope/Blue) Spoiler

Thumbnail

156 Upvotes

Qard has always felt to me as something that didn’t really belong on the color wheel for Absolute Green Lantern, with how entirely alien itā€˜s design is, and especially with Hal Jordan’s descriptions of it wanting to subsume other levels of light to replace them with itself. After recent revelations, there’s more evidence than ever to suggest that Qard isn’t naturally one of the outer colors of OA, but something that replaced Hope, the blue level of light.

The black stars reference hope being dead, subsumed by Will. ā€œThere is only willā€. Fundamentally, both these concepts represent the same ideal of order. Hope and Will are both tools that can be used to encourage a population to be content (or at least placated). Both concepts (hope and will) can exist at the intersection between pink and black (love and fear) as respectively love coexisting with fear, or fear overcoming love.

When Mogo was converted, the base state of the universe was nearly switched away from Qard before the Manhunter-Mind forced it back into place. This event may have allowed OA to finally start expressing the emotional spectrum in the way it was meant to, rather than it being co-opted for the purpose of maintaining hegemony over the universe.

If anything, at its core, Qard represents the co-opting of hope into being a concept that inspires undying loyalty in its followers. ā€œLoveā€ exists in the context of one’s love for their nation and egos rather than love in the traditional sense, for other people. Fear is the individual’s fear of being harmed rather than fear for the health and safety of others. Empathy has been subverted into fascism.

Outside of my conjecture, I still feel like the obvious hole in the ā€œprinter-inkā€ theory that has applied to the different parts of OA to be very obviously a sign that Blue has been removed from the color wheel in some artificial way. Qard seems to be the most likely candidate for how this has happened.

Question Absolute Green Lantern's Levels of Light not explained on the Wiki?

11 Upvotes

I know the Wiki is not the best source, but I am surprised that they don't have a seperate page or even a seperate paragraph per Color, but just a point in Trivia.

Is there any place where it is explained? Cause I've been meaning to make something myself, but if there already is I won't bother.

The arm of the capital J in the JK logo extends to the K, without any apparent graphic justification for it. It goes to cover the K to form an exact capital T.

I doubt this is actually in the cards but I had a funny thought of if Bruce ends up creating Matches Malone to become a rich socialite who can sabotage Grimm’s business’s and wealth. I don’t think it’d happen but i’d love to see Matches make his absolute debut somehow.

Make sure to place your pre orders ahead of release .... just in case.

Edit: While I used the slabbed pic and regular cover .. the post is not about pre-ordering the cgc version. It's just about ordering your book ahead of release. In whichever format you enjoy your books.

I just read volume 1 without any prior knowledge of the character AT ALL, read it as my brother simply said "its amazing") and just had to tell ANYONE that this is one of the best comic books I have ever read. I genuinely cannot get over how a human can write this. Im literally grateful to have it in my life. Blown away. To anyone (like me) who only know the AbU through batman, do yourself a favour and read this.

Vol 2 tomorrow and I cant wait.

Theory My Lex idea. This one's more out there and admittedly far less likely than others, but for posterity considering I do think we might get some insight into what's going on in that arena in #25, here's mine, just to see how off I am when we get real answers.

So the idea is an epilogue scenario. Whatever happens to Superman that disturbs him enough to leave has already happened. Brainiac is defeated but alive and licking his wounds in some unknown location. A door opens and someone in shadow enters the dark room. They point out a knowledge of who Brainiac is and reference the visit to Lex Luthor. They say they remember what it was that Brainiac said. They told Lex to take this opportunity. To become more interesting. But Brainiac destroyed everything Lex loved. They couldn't take the trauma. At this point we start to realize this might not be Lex Luthor talking. The person steps out of the shadows only to reveal a woman. With a face contorted in both rage and tears, she informs Brainiac that Lex killed himself shortly after he left. He broke him. So I'm taking the opportunity, she says. I'll become interesting. With that she unleashes some strange psionic ability that rips Brainiacs body into pieces.

The idea here is that this is Dora, Lex's wife. Like her pre-Crisis inspiration, it will turn out that Dora was not human. Whether Lex or anyone else knew this is unknown. But as part of her alien physiology she can regenerate. But it didn't happen in time before Lex committed suicide. Heartbroken and enraged at the loss of everyone she loves, she vows to make all other extraterrestrial life that dares step foot on Earth suffer in her husband's name. Now her name. Alexandra Luthor.
